My cat killed some tomato seedlings!

Help! I saw my cat drag a lettuce seedling out of my seed starting flats, so I took it from her and scolded her. That was okay, though, because lettuce isn't posinous! I closed up my little "greenhouse" that I was starting seeds in, and went back to doing whatever I was doing. I came back an hour later, and two mauled tomato seedlings were lying on the soil, and two holes where they used to live were in their pots. This is pretty random non tomato growing question, but do you think my cat will be ok? She didn't actually eat anything, she just bit the tomato plants and pulled them out of their pots.

Rest in peace, Stump of the World and Grub's Mystery Green.

The lesson here? Cats are smarter than you think they are. And they can get into zipped up greenhouses.
